Doc Is A Sofa That Turns Into A Bunk Bed

Sofa beds are great with their versatile functions. But even the best sofa bed has to bow down to this: the Doc Space Saving System, which converts from a regular couch to a two-level bunk bed.

Made by Resource Furniture, the clever living room rig looks like an ordinary sofa at first glance. Lift up the parts, however, and you end up with an impressive double-decker, complete with separate mattresses, safety rails and a built-in ladder. Sweet.

From the Doc’s product pictures, the mattresses look a bit cramped, so it’s strictly single occupancy for each level. Other than that, it looks wonderful — the kind of fancy furniture you’ll want to show off every time someone shows up at the house for the first time.

According to the product page, the sofa opens up into the two-level beds with a single lifting motion, requiring no extra work or assembly. The frame, rails and ladder are all made from steel, so you can rest assured the thing won’t crash while you’re slobbering silly on the upper bunk.

Resource Furniture has the Doc Space Saving System in a variety of fabric and finish options, so you should be able to customize it according to your interior plans. Prices start at $6,800.

I am going to surf for other availabilities in terms of colors and fabric for this sofa cum double decked bed. Orange is not my taste, not even when it comes to drinks. Would be great if there were some blue or black variants of the same. It is really surprising to note that a single uplifting motion is required to effect the transformation of the sofa into the promised dual bed. Anybody smells a catch somewhere?

My current sofa bed is my favorite furniture item, purely because of the fact that it serves me well when my house gets invaded by sticky relatives. I never knew there was something even better than that. Truly, house invasions won’t be a trouble if one has the Doc sofa cum bunk bed.

This is not the first time I ma reading about a fancy multipurpose furniture. What appeals to me is the fact that there is no compromise on either of the two roles that this product is meant to play. The sofa version seems spacious enough. From the pictures, it is clear that three people can easily fit in the sofa. And the impression of the double bunk bed is favorable too. I observe that there are no extended borders on the upper berth. But the steel protrusion in the front shall suffice, coupled with intelligent setting of the bed against the wall. Full marks, if I am ever asked for evaluation.

My word, this is rocking! The sofa and the bunk bed seem totally different items from these pictures. We had an old sofa cum bed a few years back. But the method of making it turn into a bed was so troublesome that we seldom used it for bedding. I am actually looking for such a product, but my wait might be a bit longer, considering the price! Well, at least I have a better idea of what I should look for in a product of this category.

Holla, my kids would cover me in kisses if I bought them something of this sort. The Doc Space Saving System looks like one custom made product for me. I am looking at freeing one of my rooms by coaxing my kids to agree for sharing a single one. A sofa that grows into a bunk bed so easily might just be the missing link in my chain. Thanks a lot for posting stuff about this cool sofa.

I really like the whole idea of this orange sofa turning into two singles, but as a grandparent who would love to incorporate this into a small bedroom for grandchildren, I couldn’t begin to afford to do so. I only wish I could.

Love the idea, it would be great for our spare room, although I think the price tag of $6800 is a bit steep. While I appreciate the design effort, I could never justify paying nearly $7k for a sofa bed. My opinion would be that a lot more people would purchase one if it had a realistic price bracket. I think you’d find the target market would open up and there would be a bigger profit made from quantity sold.
